[rhq.next] Order of elements in pom.xml files

Hi *,

Apache has a convention [1] for $subj and there is a handy 
tidy-maven-plugin [2] to fix the poms.

It is often practical to have convention like this in place - esp. when 
searching for a particular element in a pom file.

Therefore, I'd like to propose to adopt this convention in rhq.next 
projects. I would not enforce it at build time for now, I'd just reorder 
all poms and document it at some appropriate place. WDYT?

Thanks,

Peter
